Miner

Miners are wanderers of the world who specialize in gathering ores, gems, and materials from the world the rocky outcroppings of Hydaelyn. Wielding their trusty pickaxes and sledgehammers, miners can gather many things that other professions find useful in making armor, weapons, items, potions, or food. Their guild, currently led by Adalberta in Ul’dah, is very well respected for their ability to find just about anything from the mineral deposits and rocky outcroppings of the world  — and perhaps even beyond.
